Back to Europe​​​​​​​​​​

After an inconceivably sublime visit of several weeks to the holy land of India we are now going to the next destination on our life long world deliverance mission.
We are heading out to Europe. I have many wonderful disciples there, and we are going to be having many exciting adventures there of chanting Hare Krishna and relishing the sublime person Krishna and the process of fully absorbing ourselves in Krishna. What could more sublime than dedicating our lives to both awakening our own Krishna consciousness and the Krishna consciousness sleeping in the hearts of all the conditioned souls of this material world? I cannot imagine anything more relishable than this!

Problem: I Don't Know To Do

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

My humble obeisance and pranams to you!
Thank you very much for responding to my mail.

My wife is not working and she and my children are dependent on me. My elder son is 19 years old and younger one 14 years.

She is not however against Krishna consciousness, but she herself is somehow unable to take it up. I have asked (rather requested) her to chant at least one round along with children, as they learn from their mother. But now my sons are grown-up and may be little more difficult to mold them.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to be very strict with them as it may give opposite results. May be it is result of our past karma.

Yours unworthy servant,
L.M.

Solution: Give Your Life to Krishna

Srila Prabhupada’s wife was also not into Krishna consciousness. He did not let this stop him from fully surrendering to carrying out the order of his Guru Maharaja to spread the Krishna consciousness movement.

So you should fully take up Krishna consciousness giving your life fully to Krishna as an initiated devotee, even if your family has zero interest in Krishna consciousness. They will benefit unlimitedly from your example.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
